Will There Ever be an Angelic Planeswalker?
Spoilers, Rumors, and Speculation forum
Posted on Oct. 25, 2015, 12:27 a.m. by DemonDragonJ
Most of the planeswalkers currently in the cards of this game are humans or other humanoid races, but some of them are "unconventional;" to be specific, there are two dragons, two demons/fiends, and one golem, so I wonder if there shall ever be an angelic planeswalker, since angels are my favorite creatures in this game.
Angels cannot be planeswalkers under normal circumstances in this game, but I see no reason why either a normal person could not transcend their mortal nature and become an angel when their planeswalker sparked ignited, or an existing planeswalker could transfer their spark to an angel. With that being said, I think that it would be an interesting idea if Sorin was mortally wounded, and transferred his spark to Avacyn before he died.
What does everyone else say about this? Will there ever be an angelic planeswalker?

There's a history of god figures being or becoming planeswalkers. Think Freyalise, Nicol Bolas, Yawgmoth, etc. This could serve as a lore-friendly way to elevate an existing angel to walker-status or to create one outright. It doesn't seem all that far-fetched.

Angels could be a planeswalker, however Angels can't naturally gain a spark since they are created not born. Karn is the only non-natural planeswalker (that we know of) because he inherited two sparks. First he got Urza's spark, and now he has Venser's Spark.

I wouldn't count Tibalt/Ob as Demon/Devil planeswalkers since they were originally human and changed based on events later in life (Tibalt during the shock of his spark igniting, Ob attempting to control The Chain Veil)

SERRA!
Serra was an angel planeswalker from Dominaria.

CheeseBro: is it possible that Serra may appear in the game, possibly in a future Commander product?

Serra was not an angel, Serra's a human. She made a lot of angels, but she wasn't one.

tibalt was originally a human and had his essence fused with the devils around him when his spark ignited

Other non-humans: goblin (Daretti, Scrap Savant), kor (Nahiri, the Lithomancer), merfolk (Kiora, Master of the Depths), soratami (Tamiyo, the Moon Sage), Leonin (Ajani), satyr (Xenagos), gorgon (Vraska) and of course the elves, Nissa and Freyalise.
Angel would be cool, think Aurelia or Avacyn could become, Avacyn through Sorin's spark and I don't know if angels are a born-race on Ravnica
Other races I'd like to see get a Planeswalker: minotaurs, ogres, avens, loxodons, spirits, goats...jk on that last one lol

I very much wish to see a vedalken planeswalker, since that idea has not yet been explored.
As for an angel planeswalker, what if Sorin is mortally wounded, and then transfers his spark to Avacyn? I know that that idea is very unlikely to occur, because Sorin is too popular of a character for the writers to kill him off, and it would be too similar to Venser giving his spark to Karn, as well, but it still is an interesting idea, nevertheless.

i dunno. i think that if they wanted to print a new type, it should be a control plainswalker. maybe an angel, but hopefully like a sphynx

Theoretically, it is possible. Take Karn for example. He was created, and inherited his spark from Urza (and later got Venser's spark passed to him in New Phyrexia). I think it could all just depend on the nature of a particular plane's species of angels and whatever story ideas Wizards has.
